I'm really good at getting my time in the gym, I'm a 5am get it done first kinda person. I'm on PPL 6x a week. But I'm awful at prioritising rest and recovery. Ice baths, yoga, foam rolling etc. and sleep. I always seem to sacrifice sleep.
I also never do abs... Like at all... Ever. I should probably do those. And maybe some cardio... Once a week... Maybe.
6x a week is great man! doing abs is generally not necessary because your core engages in almost any exercise done correctly. sacrificing sleep is the biggest mistake. icebaths and other things can compliment a good routing, but if youre not sleeping, its not a good routine. i would highly suggest getting cardio as a warmup, you can do a 3 min HIIT or 20 min SSC depending on your timeframe, but i also neglected cardio for 5 years because i hated it lol so i see where youre coming from

Yeah man, makes sense, it's what I tell everyone else when they ask my advice. But it seems I don't take my own advice haha. I hate cardio and I struggle to fit an hours work out in before work without pushing further and further into the early hours of the morning so cardio and even HIIT warmups just get pushed aside. Still like you said, I can't be a hypocrite, I gotta stick to my own advice aswell. Cheers 👊
